Who: Rita and YOU!
When: Day 28-29
Where: Around Rita's trailer.
What: Someone left catnip at Rita's trailer, cuteness commences, also general in-between-event stuff for anyone who wants it!

[home videos / open]

Passing through the trailer yard, one might find Rita crouched outside Trailer 19. Her wings seem to be missing several feathers, but beyond that, she appears to be unharmed and in good health despite all the recent chaos.

In fact, she's actually... having... fun?

The space just outside the trailer door appears to be heavily sprinkled with catnip and mint, and her Litten, Francis, purrs up a storm as he rolls around in it. Rita appears to be filming his adorable antics with a handheld video camera, grinning all the while. She doesn't immediately notice if someone else happens to be nearby.

[wildcard!]

Alternatively, Rita might be seen around the carnival, reading a book she picked up in Wismuth, putting the finishing touches on a thick manuscript she's been writing, or just hanging around the training grounds, trailer park, or cookhouse. If you want to do something else with Rita, feel free to tag with a different starter, or hit me up on plurk (pzue) to plot!

"It wouldn't kill you to read a few more books," Rita comments flatly. As far as she's concerned, reading is something everyone should do more of. Maybe then the carnival wouldn't have as much of an idiot problem as it does now.

...Never mind the fact that one of the biggest idiots around here, Strange, happens to be a bookworm, too.

"I'll try to get through the rest of it over the next few weeks," she adds after a pause. "I wouldn't mind learning more about the fae in detail, myself. I've still got to go through some research 9S compiled while we were in Wismuth, too..."

“Why should I, when I’ve got you and Strange to do it for me?” Lambert returns, raising a brow and grinning at her. He knows where his strengths are, and speed reading most certainly isn’t one of them. “Too bad you don’t have that book anymore. It was handy.”

When Rita goes on, though, his expression grows more thoughtful to match.

“Write it down,” he tells her. “I know Strange is working on a book, but we can’t just count on that. One person having all the pieces isn’t going to work.” If something happens to one of them... goes implied. He’s sure she can fill in that blank herself.

"I was going to take notes whether you asked me to or not," Rita confirms with a shrug. But, indirectly acknowledging that her usual handwriting is illegible to the average person, she adds, "Guess I'll try and format them in a way that's easier to read..."

The mention of Strange writing a book gets a raised eyebrow from her. It's not that surprising, but... "He's writing a book? About fae?" That would be her first guess, going off the context of this conversation, and the fact that Strange can occasionally be heard rambling about them at length to people on the radio.

"Just give me something that's easier to understand than Foster's," Lambert snorts. Surely that should be a low enough bar for Rita to clear, right? But on the subject of Strange writing a book about fae, her apparent lack of awareness about that fact makes him blink.

"You didn't know? Would've thought you'd be one of the first people he'd go running to." Both of them being far too attached to reading and all the rest.

"We did discuss writing a few times... he said he was thinking of writing a memoir next." Sounds like those plans changed... not that it's all that surprising. All things considered, a book about fae sounds useful.

"I'll have to ask him about it, next time we talk." Especially since she'll be showing him the finished draft of her own book.

[whattaprick]

"He's writing a memoir about being in a fae carnival. Can't avoid talking about the fae in something like that." There's a bit of a frown on his face, just thinking about it, but he shakes it off.
